New Haven, Jan. 4—Willlam H. Johnston, president of the Interna. tlonal Associatign of Machinists, a la- bor union of railroad shopmen, has sent a letter to the Interstate Com. merce Commission asking that body “to make an Immediate investigation of the expenditure of funds by the railroad companies of this country for the maintenance of their equipment since July 1st, 1922 The Assocla tion of Railway Executives' reply is sued yesterday is: “This request, in view of the fact that most of the time the efforts of the Interstate Commerce Commission are consumed in doing just such things, seems unnecessary. The Inter- state Commerce Commission has po- lice powers over all the accounts of all the rallroads and monthly each road files with the commission de- tailed reports, according to the com- mission’s specifications, showing the traffic, operating and financial can- dition of the company. These reports are all made public. “An examination of the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission for October shows that on the 52 largest roads in the country—repre- senting about 75 per cent of the na- tion's mileage, equipment mainte. nance costs amounted roughly, to 113 million dollars, while in the same month a year ago they only amounted to about 97 million. “A further examination of similar reports of the commission shows that in October a year ago the rallroads reduced the number of bad order cars from about 362,000 to 342,000, In other words they made a reduction of 20,000 in the number of cars await- ing repairs. In the same month this year they reduced the number of bad | order cars from about 290,000 to 248,- 000 or about 40,000. “On August 1 last 345,000, or 15.3 per cent of the freight cars in use 'Fat That Shows Soon Disappears United Btates treasury department asserts that it will redeem all out- standing Vietory notes in advance of the maturity date May 20, L.

New York, Jan. 4.—Shipping men today were elated over the prospects of an end of the rate war among lines operating between North and South American ports and the probability of an early resumption of joint ne- gotiation of tariffs as the result of an interior coastal conference yesterday attended by all but two of the 13 company members. The conference revealed it was said that the rate war in effect since the organization was disrupted last June had cut tariffs more than half but at the same time had doubled the ag- gregate of shipping business. While cuts had ranged from 40 to 75 per cent. it was disclosed that the number of vessels in this service had jumped from 75 to 150.

In other words in the period in wheh Mr, Johnston's union has been on strike, and in which he their equipment, and have not done so satisfactorily, the officlal records of the Interstate Commerce Commis- slon show that they have reduced the number of bad order cars by nearly 125,000, “Mr. Johnston discusses traffic conditions of this fall, apparently with the view of showing that be- cause the shopmen were not taken back, the roads have been unable to meet the demands made upon them, “However, in spite of the shopmen, I(he coal and other strikes, and with extremely large crops, the records of the Interstate Commerce Commission show that the roads in September, October and November handled the greatest volume of traffic ever han- dled in any three months' period in the history of the country.” | Then the railroad executives put this query: “Mr. Johnston's letter is so mis- leading that it raises the question as to what was its purpose. Did he draw the attentlon of the Interstate Commerce Commission (although f{t is the business of the commission to be able to inform Mr. Johnston or anybody elve of the exact condition of affairs in the railroad world) to what he was pleased to paint as a ‘deplorable situation’ from a sense of | moral duty? Or did he write his| letter to give it to the press with the idea of encouraging the men still out on strike? Or did he do it with the idea that the commission might ask the railroads to take back those shop- men still out on strike? Or was his letter written and made public by Mr. Johnston, as a representative of a labor union, just to embarrass em- ployers of railroad labor?"

DRY SHIP RULING Counsel Give Views Washington, brought by forelgn steamship éom- panies and the two brought by Amer- lean operators to contest the com- struction placed by Attorney Gen. Daugherty on the prohibition am ment and enforcement act were up for oral argument in the supreme court today, Under the ruling, for- elgn ships would be prohibited from entering American waters with intoxi- cating liquors in their sea stores and American ships would be prohibited from having such liquors aboard at any place, The case came before the urt on appeal from a declsion by Federal Judge Hand in New York up- holding the attorney general, The argument will continue tomor- row with a @otable array of counsel, including former attorney Gen, Wick- ersham for the forelgn steamship cofpanies; Reld L. Carr, George A. Ellls and Frederick H. Stokes for the United American lines; and John M, Wolsey, Cletus Keatin, J. Parker Kirlin and Ira A. Campbell for the International Mercantlle Marine Co. The government is represented by Bollcitor General Beck, Assist. Attor- ney Gen. Maybel Wilebrandt and Speclal Assist. Wheat. Govt, Has Defonse Expressing the bellef “that the use of liquor did more than any other one thing to debauch and degrade our fanhood and womanhood” and that “whatever material hardship might be the direct or indirect results of pro- hibition it should count as nothing in view of the evils to be removed and the blessings to follow,” the gov- ernment attorneys insist that it was the purpose of the prohibition amend- ment to make the United States ab- solutely dry. They also argue that this has been recognized as the intent of the amendment and enforcement act by the supreme court, in recent decisions under which foreign vessels were prohibited from trans-shipping Intoxicating liquor in American ports and foreign liquor shipment in bond forbidden across United States terri- tory. Counsel on both sides admit that congress can prohibit foreign steam- ships from bringing intoxicating liquor into American ports but while coun- sel for the government insist that the court should interpret the present laws applying to that effect. Mr. Wicker- sham asserts that, had congress in- tended to bar liquor from the sea stores of foreign vessels it would have been explicit to that effect as it was in excluding smoking opium. The construction urged by the gov- ernment if enforced, he contends would result in the search of all for- eign ships upon reaching American ports, warships and merchantmen alike, and the confiscation of those vessels upon which intoxicating liquor It would also he argued oblige the governments to stop the supply of wines and liquors to the foreign embassies, legations and con- sulates in this country and foreign ships forced by stress of weathe®, to enter American ports would be for- feited if liquor was found aboard nothwithstanding international law and the usage of civilized nations. Foreign Situation . The foreign steamship companies are not properly before the court the government insists, and have other relief open to them under the law if interpretation of the attorney general is not sound. Should the court de- termine however ‘to decide the cases on their merits, the government con- tends that the argument of the for- eign steamship companies that the national prohibition act does” not go beyond the limits of the prohibition amendment which only prohibits the sale, importation and exportation and not mere possession of liquor, should be considered in the light of the de- clared policy of the country, While the government attorneys declare 1t would be ‘regrettable” should the enforcement of -the prohi- bition laws “offend friends beyond the sea” they express the opinion that foreign nations which have shipping regulations requiring the carrying of wines and liquors for the use o! crews and certain passengers would recast them so as to conform to our laws. In the American steamship cases the controversy centers largely upon the proper construction to be given the word “territory” as used by con- gress in extending the prohibition act to “territory” subject to the jurisdic- tion of the United States. The gox- ernment contends that the nation's “territory” extends wherever the United States has ‘‘Jurisdiction” and that, having “jurisdiction” over Am- erican vessels on fhe high seas and in foreign ports, the prohibition law automatically applies to them. Counsel for the American steam- ship companies combat such a con- struction insisting that under decis- ions of the courts the “territory” of the United States Is “land over which dominion or sovereignty has been ac- BY CLIFF Six, SEvid, BIGHT, CORRECY, SIR!

New York, Jan. 4—Rumors that Geraldine Farrar, former Metropoli- tan Opera star and Lou Tellegren, her actor husband were to settle their marital differences without resort to the courts, were spiked today when Supreme Court Justice Cohalan set down for trial next Thursday her suit for divorce. The pending actlon is the started by the diva. Three were dropped. Counsel for Tellégren vainly op- posed fixing an early date for the trial. “Mr. Tellegen is in Portland, Ore., with a theatrical company,” Attorney Arthur E. Schwartz told tHe court. “It will be necessary for us to have an adjournment of proceedings until February 1 at the earliest.” Irwin Untermyer, the singer's law- yer, contended, however, that both sides had ample time to prepare for trial, and Justice Cohalan supported him. fourth others McKoin Free, Starts for Louisiana for Hearing Baltimore, Jan. 4.—Dr. . .
